Bidri is a unique metalware technique found only in India. It is a form of encrustd metalware, where one metal is inlaid on to another. The neauty of bidriware lies in the striking contrast of colours, with the glossy silver inlay being set off by the matt black metal. The craft of bidriwork is believed to have originated in Bidar (Karnataka). It has since spread to other places like Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh). Bidri products stands, trays, ashtrays, vases, jewellery, and buttons.
